Problem
When a person dies, their next of kin often lack a clear list of the companies and services the deceased held accounts with, making it difficult to locate, transfer, or close those accounts and settle affairs efficiently.
Solution
Whenn provides a combined physical and digital toolkit that helps individuals record the names of companies, service providers, and funeral preferences while they are alive. Users receive a mailed Whenn pack containing a folder for storing death‑related documents, a booklet as a paper backup, and instructions to download the mobile app. The app guides users through a structured questionnaire to capture account details and preferences, which can then be shared securely with designated next of kin. Information can be accessed both digitally and on paper, ensuring that family members scattered across locations have a reliable “map” of the deceased’s financial and service relationships after death.
Target Audience
Whenn is aimed at adult individuals in the United Kingdom who want to ensure their next of kin can locate and manage their financial, utility, and other service accounts after death.
